MUSIC MOVES US

I'm really trying to focus in on my MUSIC MOVES US project.

1. student groups will compile prior knowledge on movement in music in cultural contexts. Students will choose three types of movement to think about (i.e. dance, marching, synchronized swimming...).

2. Students will use choose one of the brainstormed movements.
Students will use videos to collect information about the musical and cultural aspects of the movement.

3. Students will use webs to synthesize the information gathered from the three videos.

4. Students will choose a piece of music representative of the cultural they've been studying.
They will then choreograph a movement that is representative of the culture in which it was found. If they wanted to convince someone in the culture that they were part of the choice culture what should their movement look like?

Students will share what they have learned with the audience.

5. Reflection

Students will reflect on what they have learned about the connections between music and culture. Students will reflect on what they would do differently next time.
